Death Of M. G. santa Cruz.

1t is known that M. G. Santa Cruz
OF this city has been sick for long
time. He died yesterday afternoon at
IS O'Clock. Mr.. Santa Cruz came to
Los Angeles twenty-five years ago
from Sonora, Mexico, his native land,
and he has lived here ever since, be-
ing engaged in merchandising. Ee
was 90 years old, and leaves behind
him an interesting family OF yonng
daughters, who will sadly deplore the
bereavement of their fathers death.
He will also be missed by large circle
of friends in this city, where he was
known as q man of the strictest integ-
rity, as we'll as one Of most kindly dis
position. The funeral will take place
from his late residence on Upper Main
street tomorrow. The hour will be
announced in the papers of tomorrow
morning.

A New TOwnsite.

A new townsite has been selected
in the west end of the San Fernando
valley III the beautiful oak grove near
the Santa Susana Pass on the B. +.
Porter tract, about thirty miles north
west of this city. The railway that
passes through the valley will cross
the Santa Susana range from this point
into the Simi. The location is most
delightful for country town. No
name has been selected for the pro-
posed settlement, but next week it is
supposed that an appropriate name
will be given to the place.

The beautiful display OF fruits,
flowers, vegetables, and works Of art
at the Hazard pavilion was closed last
night, and tomorrow large amount
of the exhibits will be packed up and
sent to st. Louis to be placed on ex-
hibition in Armory Hall in that city,
under the auspices OF the G. A. r..
The exhibition was most excellent,
but to the shame Of the city of Los
Angeles it must be said that nearly all
the exhibits were sent in from outside
the city limits. Little towns like
Westminster and Downey did ten
times as much for the display as the
great City of Angels, with all its
wealth of orchard and gardens. Here
after, when the three thousand real
estate agents in this city boast of the
fruit and other products OF the city,
the people who attended the fair may
ask them how they know, as the
agents were not there. neither were
the exhibits. 1t was supposed that
the grand display of Milton Thomas
was city exhibit, but his fruit was
raised without the city, so that about
all the credit of the exposition belongs
to the county outside OF Los Angeles.
The attendance last night was better
than usual and the music was delight
full. A portion of the audience joined
in some graceful waltzing in the
balcony and on the main floor All
Though the week the music by Bart
lett's Seventh Infantry Band was ex-
cellent and highly enjoyed by the few
visitors present. When the next
genealogical fair shall be held in this
city, it is hoped that the people will
show their appreciation of noble and
self-denying efforts by turning out en-
masse to admire the grand products
of our glorious country.

waters of the Little Tujunga and Arroyo

domestic and irrigation purposes If they

"Didn't the pastor guarantee the invest

"Yes, and 1t Will" reverently replied the

"Then, my friend, I'm right. One hum

WASHINGTON, NOV. 90, 1887.
OUT OF HIS LINE.

All intimations that President Clcve.
land is interesting himself one way or
another In the pending canvass for
offices Of the House Of Representatives
may be set down as unadulterated
nonsense. Itis possible that he may
have individual preferences, II It be
further possible that he is giving the
contest any attention at all, which Is
quite doubtful, but that he has ever
given any expression OF his views cal
oulated to influence results is absurd and
iuconceivable.
That such an idea should hive ever
been br0ached is due probably to the
eagerness of the friends of certain can.
didates to have 1, appear that they had
the backing of the Administration; or
In part, perhaps, TO motives of malice
intended to bring the President into
disrepute. In either case the origina-
tors of the imputation have reckoned
without their host,
There are obvious reasons why Mr..
Cleveland should desire the success of
the candidates Of his party In politi-
cal campaign; but he has no such In
terest In the proceedings Of Demo.
cratic caucus, the nominations of which
are equivalent to elections, and In
which there is no principle involved
with which the Administration Is In the
least concerned.
1t is of no earthly moment to the
President who is chosen to be Clerk Of
the House or Doorkeeper or Post
master. In plain terms 1t Is mono OF
his business, and 1t is safe to say that
nobody more thoroughly realizes this
fact than Mr.. Cleveland himself.
